#Giving Tuesday - November 30, 2021 Join me and the DMSF Associate Board this Giving Tuesday in supporting the Murphy Scholar Mentor Program! For many of our Scholars, the high school experience requires emotional, academic and social adjustments. To help ensure their success, DMSF matches Scholars who request a mentor with dedicated individuals who serve as confidants and advisors. Mentors and Scholars communicate regularly and meet at least once each quarter. Some Murphy Scholars participate in Affinity Groups, our group mentoring program. Qualified and relatable Murphy Scholar alumni serve as facilitators for groups of 12 to 17 Scholars. Affinity Groups meet every other weekend during the school year, providing a safe space for peer-to-peer discussions on the issues that affect many Murphy Scholars and are central to their identity.
